On 22nd December, students and teachers of Joaqu铆n Romera Institute of Mendavia (Navarra) donated toys to the Mendavia Red Cross.
In order to buy these toys, a group of 6 students from the 2nd year of Secondary School carried out a project within the Healthy Eating Workshop. The project consisted in creating a solidarity calendar with healthy recipes. But the project was not only about making a selection of healthy recipes, it was also about the students becoming ambassadors of diversity in their school. They wanted to show the positive aspects of diversity by sharing recipes from different cultures. This is how they were able to know and make known the cultural wealth existing in their institute, by studying the gastronomy of each country of origin. At the same time, they were able to raise funds to buy educational toys to donate to the Red Cross!
